    The Evan's Cycles near Spitalfields/Liverpool St is massive - They call it the cavern. There's a biggish Cycle Surgery nearby. Both of these are fairly middle of the road places - they're both big online retailers.

    It's just as well you're missing the cycle show in Earl's Court. That thing is dangerous to the credit card!

    I called into Brick Lane Bikes once and found it quite small (thought no moreso than a standard LBS), albeit absolutely packed with fixie stuff - and a lot of nice looking bieks out the back.

    @Mucco - what's the Condor shop like? Do you know if they've finished the renovations? I was thinking of paying them a visit before Christmas.

    Cheers,
